Fig. 1 illustrates the basic configuration as " lighting power " that offer LED of rectangular pulse.Pulse 14 is positioned at the frame 12 according to the control signal 10 of the embodiment of the invention.The first 18 of pulse (time slot 4 among Fig. 1 and time slot 5 k=2) are exclusively used in the OOK data-modulated, and second portion 20 (all the other time slots 6,7 ...) be exclusively used in and control illumination.Therefore by the 18 carrying signal S1 of first of pulse 14, by the second portion 20 carrying signal S2 of pulse 14.The product of pulse duration and pulse amplitude is identified for the power of the desired illumination of LED.In normal running, this pulse is with T 2Frame period repeat.Fig. 3 illustrates the different pulses 14 that are used for chip " 0 " and chip " 1 ".In the upper diagram of Fig. 3, the pulse 14 that is used for chip " 0 " has the first 18 that has high level, and in the bottom graph of Fig. 3, and the pulse that is used for chip " 1 " has and has low level first 18.The second portion 20 of these two pulses 14 always is in high level, and determines luminous intensity in fact.
Be applied to comprising the luminaire of some LED, timing slip τ ι 1(wherein, τ ι 1∈ 0,1 ..., N 1-1}), can define the data-modulated position partly of the pulse of LED l.If LED uses different positions for modulation, then their data-signal falls into different intervals, and can be separated by detector, will describe detector after a while.
Be not to use to have Fig. 1 and the first shown in Figure 3 and the pulse 14 of second portion, but can use the PPM modulation scheme by paired pulses, as Fig. 2 and shown in Figure 4.In Fig. 2, two pulses 14 of " 0 " and " 1 " are shown, wherein, be depended on pulse starting position 26 by the pulse data carried by data.In other words, PPM is used to modulate data on the pulse 14 of control signal 10.In Fig. 2, at the pulse shown in the upper diagram 14 carrying chips " 0 ", and in time slot shown in Figure 20, than the pulse shown in the bottom graph 14 at time frame T 2In beginning more early, pulse 14 carrying chips " 1 " shown in the bottom graph and begin to postpone kT with respect to frame 12 1And begin.Modulation scheme shown in Figure 2 has the following advantages: the electric flux that is offered LED by pulse 14 in each frame 12 is a constant, and with OOK chopping phase ratio, do not rely on by the pulse data carried by data, owing to depend on institute's data carried by data by OOK modulating pulse 14, the energy that therefore offers LED depends on the pulse data carried by data.Yet for OOK, if the ratio of the quantity of " 0 " and " 1 " in the sign indicating number is known, typical pulse width is a constant.Preferably, orthogonal code sets can be used, and complete " 1 " (or DC (direct current) sign indicating number) can be got rid of.In the case, all the other employed sign indicating number is no DC, and comprises " 0 " and " 1 " of equal number by definition.Guaranteed like this for each interval T 3, the duration that average duty ratio equals bright pulse adds half of duration of the data-modulated part of pulse.
Now, about Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, how explanation can carry out keying according to spreading code to the pulse train 16 of control signal 10, be used for to according to the light of LED of the present invention emission modulate.The modulated light emission can send for example data of 1 bit.At this employed spreading code is the sign indicating number " 0110 " of 4 chips of weak point.Pulse train 16 is used at least one of following two purposes:
-Data transmission, for example information bit
-permission detectors measure is from the local strength of the illumination of this LED.
In Fig. 4, PPM is applied to the pulse 14 of sequence as modulation scheme, and in Fig. 5, OOK is used as modulation scheme.
In Fig. 4, first pulse of sequence 16 and the 4th pulse 14 begin in beginning place of their frames separately of indication " 0 " chip, and second pulse of sequence 16 and the 3rd pulse 14 are from the beginning delay kT of the frame of indication " 1 " chip 1(k=2) begin.
In Fig. 5, first pulse of sequence 16 and the 4th pulse 14 have the pulse duration of five time slots, and postpone kT from their beginning of each frame of indication " 0 " chip 1(k=2) begin, and second pulse and the 3rd pulse 14 only have the pulse duration of three time slots, and from indication " 1 " chip they each frame begin to postpone kT 1(k=4) begin.
In Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, comprise N 2The complete code length of=4 chips has T 3(T 3=4T 2) cycle.In this cycle, the actual information of a bit can be delivered to receiver.Can send the bit of opposite polarity by the complement form (" 1001 ") of using this yard.If the eliminating all-ones is then during this cycle, even N 2-2 other LED use the same position τ in the frame ι 1Locate their data, they also can send a bit.In addition, by with N 1Other one group of LED, N are distributed to in/k other starting position 1/ k-1 organizes N 2-1 other LED also can each all send a bit, and allows to be used for the ionization meter of each LED.
May have a large amount of LED according to illuminator of the present invention; Therefore, different sign indicating numbers (being also referred to as signature at this) must be distributed to different LED, with the signal (being the light emission of each LED) that separates them.In other words,, can adopt code division multiple access method (CDMA), coexist as in the system to guarantee different LED, and can not cause interfering with each other according to the present invention.Especially easily be orthogonal code, multi-user interference (MUI) was zero when it had guaranteed to keep synchronous when running through system.For this reason, all LED and photodetector can the sharing of common clocks.Practical methods can be passed through the pulse of power circuit tranmitting data register, so that all LED are synchronous.Can periodically make detector synchronous by allowing all LED send the known same datum pulse of detector.In addition, coded sequence is preferably completely orthogonal, for example the Walsh-Hadamard sign indicating number.Also can use another kind of sign indicating number, i.e. linear feedback shift register (LFSR) sign indicating number.The sequence that belongs to back one class is characterised in that, is not to be entirely zero but very approach zero cross-correlation function.The advantage of LFSR is, allows to occur synchronous error, and performance is not produced significant impact.Different LED is assigned with the different cyclic shifts of same code.
Fig. 6 illustrates the block diagram that is used for the light of LED is launched the transmitter architecture of the equipment of modulating 100 according to the embodiment of the invention.Equipment 100 comprises the control signal generating apparatus that is used to generate control signal 10, and control signal is used to control the light emission 114 of LED 112.Described control signal generating apparatus comprises:
-signal source 102, its generation are used for the baseband signal b of specific LED l i 1,
-spreading code generating apparatus 104, it generates the spread spectrum codes C of being distributed to specific LED l respectively 1,
-composite set 108, it is provided to be used for: will be by the baseband signal b of signal source 102 generations i 1With the spreading code that generates by spreading code generating apparatus 104 Be combined as chip sequence a I, j 1,
-pulse generator 110, it is applicable to according to described chip sequence a I, j 1Generate modulated control signal s 1(t) 10,
-intensity controller 106, it is applicable to the photoemissive intensity of control.
Pulse generator 110 is applicable to and generates OOK CDMA (code division multiple access) modulated control signal 10.Yet they also go for generated code keying PPM control signal 10.
Equipment 100 can generate the control signal that is used for l different LED.
In a word, can followingly write out be used for specific LED's and the modulated control signal 10 that generates by equipment 100:
s i , j , n l = A i l 0 n = 0 , · · · , τ i l - 1 1 - a i , j l 2 n = τ i l , τ i l + 1 , · · · , τ i l + k i l - 1 1 n = τ i l + k i l , τ i l + k i l + 1 , · · · , τ i l + w i l + k i l 2 - 1 0 n = τ i l + w i l + k i l 2 , τ i l + w i l + k i l 2 + 1 , · · · , N 1 - 1 - - - ( 5 )
Wherein, s 1 I, j, n=s 1(iT 3+ jT 2+ nT 1).At this, i represents information bit b i 1Sequence (wherein, b i 1∈ 1 ,-1}), and j carries out index to frame.By with current information bit b i 1Multiply by a yard sequence C 1=(c 0 1, c 1 1..., c j 1..., c N1-1 1) (wherein, c j 1∈ 1 ,-element in 1}) and obtain each chip a I, j 1In other words, a I, j 1=b i 1c j 1So whether the first that the element of data and sign indicating number influences pulse occurs, thereby it influences the starting position of the pulse in the frame.After being generated, signal of telecommunication s 1(t) be converted to light pulse by LED 112, and for example be launched subsequently by transmission channel.
As mentioned above, may have a large amount of LED according to illuminator of the present invention; Therefore different sign indicating numbers (referred to herein as " signature ") can be distributed to different LED, with signal or the light emission that separates them respectively.In other words, adopt code division multiple access method (CDMA), coexist as in the system to guarantee different LED, and can not cause interference each other.Fig. 7 illustrates the LED luminous plaque 116 with a plurality of LED as illuminator.Detect the light emission of the different LED of described plate 116 by transducer 118 (for example launching responsive photodiode) for the light of LED.For example can connect (for example according to Zigbee RF standard) via radio frequency (RF) will send to master controller 120 from transducer 118 by transducer 118 detected signals, and the 120 pairs of modulated signal of telecommunication and corresponding light that sense from transducer 118 outputs of master controller carry out demodulation.Master controller 120 can be used for launching the light emission of controlling LED according to detected light.Therefore, can realize being used to control the luminous external control ring of described plate 116.Since can be used for the spreading code that the light emission of LED is modulated is come the light emission of each LED is distinguished with the light emission of other LED by detection, therefore might be by only using the single led light emission that some transducers 118 come control board 116.
From the description of front as seen, this system has guaranteed separating according to the LED of TDMA (time division multiple access) and the combination of CDMA scheme.More accurately, if LED is l 1And l 2The same position of the modulated part of shared data ( τ 1 l = τ 2 l ) , Then will use (from the orthogonal sequence set, selecting) different sign indicating number to separate their signal.Can reuse identical sequence sets and close, not produce any interference and the modulated part of its data is positioned at the LED of diverse location.Under one situation of back, will distinguish LED based on TDMA.Therefore, each LED l 1Set { τ with two values i 1, C 1, wherein, first value representation TDMA signature, and second value representation CDMA signature.
System can distribute nearly N respectively 1/ k N 2Individual quadrature (therefore noiseless) user or signal.(the C for example because specific reasons 1=[1,1 .., 1] expression DC signal), some signature preferably keeps not distributing.The system that makes disturbs (sunlight and other LED that sends the bright pulse of LED) to have robustness at any DC to keep the DC sign indicating number not distribute, and therefore the quantity of the LED that in fact distributes can be still less.
This scheme allows the modulated part of illumination (in other words, the afterbody of pulse) of pulse to pass T 2The right margin of frame is to be provided at scope
Figure A200780024498D0017170337QIETU
In any duty ratio.As mentioned above, because the afterbody of pulse is represented the DC component, but sign indicating number is a quadrature for this interference, thus can finish this operation, and do not produce any interference problem.
Obvious, also can design described system, thereby the constant illumination pulse is positioned at before the data pulse just, rather than just is positioned at after the data pulse.
In addition, design system replacedly, thus bright pulse and data pulse are not connected directly.Except the transition of needs more switches, this system carries out same operation, and this does not more expect with regard to power consumption.
The representative instance of the design alternative of LED luminous plaque embodiment of the present invention is:
T 1=1 microsecond
N 1=1024 (dimming scope 10 bits)
The big or small N of sign indicating number 2=16, the sign indicating number set: walsh hadamard, except all-ones k=1
The quantity of LED: reach about 16000
Duty ratio:, arbitrarily choose by LED according to lighting demand by the house control setting.
The major advantage that the present invention has is, it allows to launch by the light of such mode modulated luminescence equipment (for example single led, a plurality of LED or comprise the luminous plaque of a plurality of LED), that is, can discern the light emission of specific luminaire by the spreading code that detection is used for photoemissive modulation.Because the emission of the light of each luminaire can detect by the spreading code that is used for photoemissive modulation and therefore control by the luminous light launch control unit (for example such as the house controller) that is applicable to the LED luminous plaque that the control house uses, so the present invention is particularly suitable for comprising the light-emitting device of some luminaires (for example having LED luminous plaques a plurality of or a hundreds of LED).Another advantage of the present invention is such option: by sending different spreading codes and/or using the different starting positions of the pulse in the frame to distinguish light from Different Light.
Should be noted that and to use the modulation of being undertaken by spreading code, and do not carry the data-signal of user profile.For example, if data sequence just is complete " 1 " sequence, then receiver still can be measured each light contribution and the control illumination from each light source.
Can carry out in the function of the present invention at least some by hardware or software, for example generate control signal being used for, or be used for generating method according to photoemissive self adaptation illumination of modulating according to the present invention by at least one luminaire according to the emission of the light of luminaire of the present invention.Under the situation of the implementation of software, can use single or multiple standard microprocessor or microcontroller to handle and be used to realize single or multiple algorithm of the present invention.
Should be noted that literal " comprises " does not get rid of other element or step, and literal " " is not got rid of a plurality of.Further, the Reference numeral in the claim should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of the invention.
